Información del libro
A deep and thoughtful reflection on trust in the context of public life. Trust in Public Life is a collection of essays addressing the importance of trust in public life and how public servants can engender and sustain it. In "The Roots of Trust, " Anna Rowlands argues that our loss of trust is a feature of modernity that can only be solved through encounters with real people. In "Trust in Oneself, " Claire Gilbert makes the case that leaders need to have self-trust and confidence to rule. In "Trust in Institutions, " Anthony Ball offers a guide to rebuilding trust in institutions through four virtues: honesty, humility, compassion, and competence. Finally, in "Trust in People, " James Hawkey argues that trust between groups is a choice, not something that can be injected like a vaccine. Together, the essays offer valuable reflections on trust in public life, agreeing that it must be engendered, and offer guidance on how this might be achieved.
